Beyond.com Offers Free Job Postings to Employers to Help Stimulate Business Growth

Extraordinarily qualified candidate base creates unique hiring opportunity for employers

PHILADELPHIA — January 14, 2009 — Beyond.com, Inc., the world’s largest network of niche career communities, announced today that it is offering one free job posting to each employer across the nation through February 28, 2009 in an effort to promote business growth and help stimulate the economy in the New Year.

As a result of the weakened U.S. economy and high unemployment rate, the number of qualified candidates available in the job market has increased dramatically, creating unique hiring opportunities for employers. In December 2008, the Bureau of Labor Statistics announced that the national unemployment rate has hit a record high of 7.2 percent and nearly 2.6 million people have lost their jobs over the past year. The economic recession has created one of the most talented pools of candidates in years, consisting of a greater number of highly educated and experienced professionals than typically available under normal economic conditions.

Beyond.com’s free job posting offer allows employers to take advantage of the opportunity to attract high quality talent and add depth to their employee base by leveraging the power of targeted, niche recruitment. Employers can reduce one component of hiring costs and engage with seasoned talent who will position their company for future growth. The ultimate goal is to foster new opportunities and revitalize the economy in 2009.

“In tough economic times, it’s not all about downsizing,” said Rich Milgram, CEO of Beyond.com. “Businesses should take a close look at all aspects of their business and take advantage of opportunities that present themselves and provide for long-term gains. By offering a free job posting, we are making it easier for employers to find and acquire quality talent, build a stronger business and play a vital role in stimulating the economy.”

Beyond.com offers a one-of-a-kind recruitment solution to employers. By posting a position to Beyond.com, employers can instantly reach millions of candidates across thousands of relevant sites within the Beyond.com network.
